Lesnar enters the cage to the sounds of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” The champion follows as Aerosmith’s “Back in The Saddle” plays.

Round 1
Referee Mario Yamasaki gives the final instructions in the center of the Octagon. The fighters stare intensely into each others eyes and Lesnar cracks a smile. The fighters touch gloves and the action is on. Couture goes straight to the clinch as he backs Lesnar up against the fence. Lesnar smartly knees the thigh of the champion as he switches control against the fence. Now pushing Couture against the fence, Lesnar backs off absorbs a hard right hand to the jaw. Lesnar drops levels for a single-leg takedown, which is defended nicely by Couture. Lesnar switches to a double and gets the takedown. The challenger works from half-guard. He briefly has the mount, but Couture has none of it. Couture nearly sweeps Lesnar to his back. Lesnar picks an ankle and counters with a beautiful trip. Lesnar, from half-guard, pins Couture’s right arm down with his leg while punching the head. Couture scrambles to his knees while Lesnar controls from the top. Couture makes it to his feet and has Lesnar pushed against the cage. Lesnar grabs the fencing twice to avoid a takedown and is warned by Yamasaki.

Damn. I'm a Lesnar fan..but part of me is sad knowing that's the last title fight Randy Couture will see.

I'd love to see Fedor V Lesnar.

PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Everyone thought Cro Cop was a freak before Gonzaga crushed his head like a pop can. I'd like to see Fedor not be able to pick and choose his fights. Not that I don't think he's legit...at all. He's the Notre Dame of MMA. He fights whomever he wants whenever he wants, and I'd like to see him square off against better opposition fight after fight...just to see what would happen.

Fedor would destroy Lesnar, Brock needs more submission defense before he can even consider fighting Fedor.

If Couture could have gotten Brock a little deeper into that fight, things were going to swing his way eventually. Lesnar was gassed with substantial time left in the 1st, and knew he had to come out attacking in the 2nd to keep the momentum. The size difference (moreso than age) just got to Couture before the attrition could get to Lesnar.

Fedor is human. I think he's awesome...but so was Cro Cop. He gave Fedor all he could handle in one of their fights. Randleman had him beat with that slam...

I know Fedor would be favored by a long shot...I'm just tired of the Fedor hype. It's MMA...one punch can finish anyone...ANYONE. I'm sooo sick of hearing otherwise. Not on here...but from friends who just started watching last year. According to them, Fedor is made of adamantium, and would beat the top three heavyweights at the same time.

Look...I'd like to make it clear that I'm not saying Fedor WOULD get beat...just that these days, any mention of the possibility and people around these parts lose their goddamned minds. I want to Fedor them when they act like douches and insist that it's not possible. If any sport is unpredictable...it's MMA.

The thing about Fedor, is that he has fought the best. While in Pride, they were the best of the best heavyweights. CroCop didn't fare well once he was older and in the UFC, but don't get it twisted, people like Gonzaga would get destroyed in the old Pride HW division. Fedor may and might end up losing, but it will be because of his age, not because of his skill. It truly is doubtful that you will ever see a HW who could beat Fedor in his prime. There is no one else in the world who could win a fight after the Randleplex. Who, by the way has fought the best competition of any MMA fighter ever. Ok, I'm drunk and rambling.
